Digitalis purpurea
FLOWER-FOXGLOVE MIX is a mix of pastel blooms! Loads of nodding blooms atop majestic spires in a glowing mix of pastel colours. This beauty is a real showstopper. Its name means “fairy gloves” derived from the finger like flower spikes. Bright, colourful 7cm blooms in a glowing mix beginning in early summer & lasting for weeks. A magnet for bees & other insects, the gorgeous flower spikes will offer months of interest, & then will self-seed freely around the garden – so there will be more to follow in subsequent years. Prefers partial shade. In spring, after all danger of frost, sow outdoors.  Scatter where desired and firm by light tamping down. When plants are 10cm high, thin or transplant.   Flowers in 100 to 120 days

Fox Glove (Digitalis) is poisonous if ingested causing irregular  heart function and death.  Touching Foxglove then rubbing your eyes or toughing your mouth can transfer the toxins often causing a bad reaction.  Thus you must be carful where you plant it, how you use it and keep it away from small children.

More About Us

ABSeeds is an Australian owned business trading under the umbrella of Direct Compost Solutions which is owned and managed by Victoria Brun.

We as a company endeavor to provide to the public, Organic, Old Fashioned, Heritage, and Open-pollinated seeds that have not been genetically modified.

We purchased the business in November 2018 and renamed it to ABSeeds (All ‘Bout Seeds) to make the title shorter and represent what we hope to achieve with this business in the years ahead.

Seeds that we can’t grow ourselves we will acquire from people who grow for us, or we may purchase seeds from reputable heritage seed companies.
